Yeah, im currently trying to find something thats piqued my interest...
Was trying just a randorun of fall4 with the realistic weapons mod...

Cept the weapons are only realistic on me. And by realistoc i mean their effect on me. Usually killed in one 9mm shot, even if wearing heavy combat armor. Where as the enemies in junk raider armor can tank 7.62x51 like its airsoft.

FINALLY!!!! HAHAHAH!!! Someone who actually got the reference!!!!

Gotta find something else to play while the laundry is in - could go back a do a really thorough skyrim run...or not.  I'll go through the box of misfit games and see what's there.

Happy Birthday.  Had one myself a week or so ago. I don't pay much attention to the pesky things.  Yeah, once the jewel  indicator turns black, the only other option is clear, and that's if you get out from under the control.  Surprised the Sandmen haven't got you yet, try going out into the real world, that should clear things up for you.


*as an aside, the woman who played Jessica 7 in Logan's Run, in all her semi-nudeness, is now playing an elder Church of England nun on a Brit TV series.  Times change.

Hahaha, randowis, makes some great comics and little animations, though slowed down recent years.

And 76 is... problematic.
Its a big part Fall4 in style and engine, but leveling is... meh.
When you level up you dont get to pick perks from a list, you get a bunch of random "perk cards" you can equip about. And they sre given randomly. So while you want to play a tech heavy gunner with light armor, you might get cards that are only useful for trading. Its... annoying.
Further add in gear.
Rather then crafting one gun and a set of armor, then slowly upgrading it as you level, you make a gun at level 5. And at level 10. And 15, 20, 25...
And each level the gun costs more anf more to make, and when recycling your old gun you get almost nothing back. And the mods and attachments have to be recrafted as well.

So your ALWAYS struggling to find parts to do building with, most places are picked clean and your just praying you catch it on the respawn.

But a new thing they did is make it so enemies are always your level. So you hit level 30 and need to renew all your gear, cept there are no easy scav spots as everything is matching your level, but your weapons are underpowered...
This is an improvement as it used to be the game would spawn slightly lower enemies in earlier areas while you scaved...

Which sucked for everybody else as while your level 5, you might get swarmed by 6-7 level 90 ghouls because a level 90 guy was in the area. So youd be screwwed.

Now its "scaled" so the deathclaw that spawns in shows as level 5 for you, but for the level 90 it shows as level 90. You can both fight it, and do about the same damage roughly.

There are ways it could be fixed, but last i played it screwwed balance a lot.

Thst said, actual gameplay, story, enemies, all of that, were excellent and would have made an awesome single player game. Which is were it gets fucky again.

You can buynthe game and not have to pay a subscription....

Unless you want your own solo world where only you and your friends can explore about. That costs about 12 bucks a month.

Thats right. In the mmorpg , you only pay once to play online... but have to have a paid subscription to play solo.

Mmm... a smidge.
Personally ibalways desposed of bodies by dumping them into sewers leading tothe ocean. Plenty of things to gnaw on them as they wash out.

And happy birthday  to myself tomorrow! 41 years old, official old man age.

Wondering what color the jewel in my hand will turn... though it hasnt changed since turned black like, 10 years ago.

I have that same question about a lot of people we used to see here...
Life moves like a whitewater river, and sometimes bodies get left on the shore.
Too dark...?

I haven't heard much good about the mechanics of 76, and I recently gifted #4 to someone who actually has a PS4 (I don't) and told him I want reviews - the guy at the shop with whom I have a very good relationship and who considers himself my gaming guru, told me its the most 1st-persony of all the Fallout franchise, something I'm only just now getting used to in small doses.

Oh, and your attached video is freaking me out

Woo! Happy ending!!!


So what are your plans now?

Gotta.admit there is a part of me tempted to try 76 again some...
Though really wish they would clean up the grind and fix that stupid "everything jumps to your level exactly" as it screws you over when you need to go scav older places for junk to build new weapons and armor come level up.

Should have done it so each area has a max level cap.
Starter area the highest level gribblies and such will hit is like 10-15, so when you go back its not just full of overpowered beasts your old gear is now underleveled to fight..

Where is NeoP? He started this thread and said he would post here at least once a year, except his starting post and one reply in 2017 were his last posts?
